Overview
- Edinson Cavani returned to on‑field ball work at Boca and posted “Te extrañaba” on Instagram, signaling progress in his recovery.
- Reports in Argentina say he is in the final stage of rehab with a tentative goal to be available in May for the Copa Libertadores group phase.
- His availability remains tied to pain levels after treatment for a post‑traumatic bone edema, a psoas block, and a reported second lumbar infiltration.
- Exequiel Zeballos and goalkeeper Agustín Marchesín have been cleared for the Independiente clásico, giving coach Claudio Úbeda more rotation options.
- Boca already fields starters Miguel Merentiel and Adam Bareiro with Milton Giménez and Ángel Romero in reserve, so a Cavani comeback would further crowd the forward line.
